Good to see the salary cap working as intended. It warms my heart to see how perennial strugglers Penrith are able to lure a star away from the absolute juggernauts that are the Titans.

Ehhhh to be fair the Panthers have made a fairly nice bed for themselves with all the local juniors playing for less than they'd get elsewhere. And losing Germ Luai and Diet Nathan Brown frees up much cash.

The bum clubs have benefitted from paying overs to take our guys. That is the only reason this is possible.

Salty fans are an added benefit

It's actually the ideal model that could see them up a top for a long time,

Have an endless production line of young athletic footballers on low salaries coupled with guys like Cleary, Yeo and Edwards to steer the ship...

But you need the local juniors and they're one of the few clubs to be able to do it (so could your mob if they ever got their sh*t together).

From the 2021 premiership side to the start of 2025 (at this stage), Penrith have lost: Steven Crichton, Paul momorovski, Matt Burton, Jerome Luai, James fisher-harris, Kurt capewell, viliame kikau, Tyrone May and Spencer Lenui....9 from the 17...thats a pretty big chunk of the 2021 salary cap.

We talk to one high profile player and poor little Skeepey has a cry? Build a bridge!

Big gamble if the money is true... which, media.

I guess he's pretty close to Kikau in a lot of ways who Penrith managed to make look like a superstar. Big, strong and dumb instead of big, fast and dumb.

you could put together a top 4 side based on the players Penrith have lost in the last 4 seasons.

Crichton
Turuva
Burton
Naden
Staines
Luai
Cogger
Fisher-Harris
Korisau
Leniu
Capewell
Kikau
Hopgood

not to mention O’Sullivan, Katoa, Egan, Salmon, etc etc.

god forbid one high profile player comes the other way.
